Norris had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Tuesday. They came out on top against the Blair Bears by a score of 6-2. Six seems to be a good number for the Titans as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Eli Starner looked comfortable as he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two hits any time he's pitched this season.

At the plate, Norris saw eight different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ashton Monroe, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.

Norris hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Blair struck out ten times.

Norris' win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-2. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Blair, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-11 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Norris will challenge rival Waverly at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Titans 3.5, the Vikings 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Blair is set to face off against their familiar foe Hastings at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
